Journalist releases important update on Liverpool takeover after potential European bid is revealed

A reporter has provided an important update on the stakeholders surrounding a possible Liverpool takeover.

FSG announced to The Athletic’s David Ornstein in November that they would “consider new shareholders”, but only if it was “in the best interest of Liverpool as a club”.

Club chairman Tom Werner later told The Boston Globe that the FSG was looking into a sale of Liverpool, leading to many interested party rumors.

However, there has been no public expression of interest from either party in taking over the club or acquiring a minority stake, unlike Manchester United, where Ineos and its founder and CEO, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, have said they formally participate in the bidding process. to take over the club.

In Liverpool’s case, CBS Sports reporter Ben Jacobs said last month that the club was “moving towards minority investment”, meaning FSG would stay with the club. However, the Liverpool Echo report said it could be a “protracted process”, with no timetable for how long it could take for new investment, if any, to arrive.

But This is Anfield journalist David Lynch has provided an important update on the state of interest in a transfer from Liverpool.

An update on the Liverpool takeover has been provided

Lynch said FSG has been holding talks with several groups to invest in Liverpool, at least one European party in particular.

He writes: “Fortunately, hope remains that much-needed certainty will arrive before the summer, especially with exploratory talks currently underway with investors from Qatar, Germany, the United States and Saudi Arabia interested in a buyout.”

While there are no clues as to the identity of the German investors, the Saudi sports minister has previously said the state will back a Saudi public sector bid for either Manchester United or Liverpool.

He told BBC Sport in November: “From the private sector I can’t speak for them but there is a lot of interest and appetite and there is a lot of passion for football. “[The Premier League] is the most watched league in Saudi Arabia and the region and you have a lot of Premier League fans. We will definitely support it if a [Saudi] private sector comes into the game because we know it will happen to reflect positively on the sport within the realm.”

Real madrid vs liverpool as the red faces injury

Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp have been dealt another blow at a time when the club can barely afford it.

Defender Ibrahima Konaté has been out for around two weeks with a hamstring problem he picked up in the 2-1 loss to Brighton and Hove Albion in the FA Cup fourth round.
Konaté’s injury comes at a time when Liverpool have a series of games on the horizon. The Frenchman is expected to miss games against Wolves and Newcastle, the Merseyside derby with Everton and possibly the Champions League Round of 16 first leg against Real Madrid.

If he misses the final of these games against Real Madrid, it would be a very big blow for Klopp given that Virgil van Dijk is also around two weeks away from returning from his own injury. Leave Joël Matip, Joe Gomez and Nat Phillips as Klopp’s only healthy centre-backs, with the latter still able to leave before the end of the January spell. Rhys Williams has been recalled on loan but is unlikely to start against Real Madrid.
So what do Liverpool look like ahead of Real Madrid’s meeting at Anfield on 21 February, given the current spate of injuries?

Assuming no further setbacks, Alisson will be in goal, supported by Trent Alexander-Arnold on one side and Andy Robertson on the other. In the middle we could see Gomez and Matip leave, but hopefully Van Dijk is back, even if Konaté is not yet in shape.
